Introducing the first ever: Partner Kit. This kit has enough for two people to safely poke. Just make sure that you throw everything out & pour new ink before starting the second person...
Stick and Poke (hand poke) history is steeped in partner tattooing. The culture is: late night bedroom boredom & feeling special. One step over a mani-pedi party, a stick and poke party is forever. That is, if you consider your skin life to be "forever." News for ya: You are going to live triple digits max, and then that tattoo will return to it's elements along with your stiff smelly body. In any case, it is pretty fun to do this sort of thing with a friend. Just the other day, I got a ladybug on my ankle my 4th date got a grounded symbol on hers. I hope she won't electrocute me in [...]
This video explains why ink stays in the epidermis (skin) - and is not shed or taken away via the body's reaction to it's annoyance with foreign stuff in there. Have you thanked your macrophages & fibroblasts today? Also - why to wear sun screen to preserve your tattoos & the science of tattoo removal.

Miss Amanda Arkansassy is the real deal. She was my first real SnP fan (besides friends & mothers who just support everything I do). When others could not imagine the purpose of a Stick & Poke Tattoo Kit - she excitedly told me that she loved it and would take one ASAP. She proceeded to have a Stick and Poke Themed Birthday. This badass southern belle may have given me the confidence I needed to get to where I am today (in my living room now with several paper cuts and ink stains) with over 250 kits sold worldwide in less than a year. I am very grateful to her. She has most recently photographed my kits, bumping them up to Professional Status.
Let's ask her more questions...
Q1: How do you Identify? What should I call you?

Sup y'all! Just some meaningless celebrity gossip to follow...
Miley Cyrus has 22 tattoooooss! Many of which are on her milky white paws. Maybe more by now?! A day has passed, after all. No tattoo shaming going on here. I'm down with little permanent reminders of our crazy lives. You go grrl! I hope you are safe!
Here is the dish about all her tattoo meanings and shiiit. You can steal her style if you like. Or make your own!
If the huff post is talking about it, then it must be news, RIGHT?
Help! This guy has all Miley Cyrus themed tattoos! He hath no shame.

"Spring-time is the time of the liver,” says my acupuncturist as I sip on my liver detox tea. What does that even MEAN? I exclaim through my modern science teacher lens? She replies calmly, as if a sheer fact, "the emotion tied to the liver is anger."
I'm angry just thinking about the possibility of being angrier. Here's the deal y'all: Yang energy is all up in everyone's business in the spring when flowers are popping and qi (pronounced: chee) is swirling like mad making everything and everyone want to do the nasty or beat something up.
Do you make your own calendula balms and take a weekly trip [...]
Forget the flowers
When doing anything, I think of the plastic. On days that I listen to NPR, I tend to avoid buying some favorite foods - like Seaweed Snacks - because those fragile sheets of salty heaven are wrapped up like gold in a plastic Fort Knox. And for what? Give me flattened low calorie snackables and save the plastic for peaches and newborns and other bruising fleshy stuff.
I have a friend who is really nice (really really). You will stay on her sweet side so easily if you avoid two things: dreads on white people (cultural appropriation) and single-use plastics. Do not give this grrl a plastic fork with her pad thai. Do not give her a straw with her whisky soda. Do not offer her a plastic bag for her Homies. It is for her and the dolphins (and the sea turtles) that I make an effort to minimize the [...]
